‘Twas the night before solstice. . .

‘Twas the night before solstice and all through the halls,
not a student was scurrying, and nary a phone call; 
The backpacks were hung in the issue room with care,
in hopes that our students would soon be back here;

The assistant director nestled all snug in his new space,
With visions of permits plastered all over his face;
With Gary in his ‘kerchief and Latane in his cap,
They both are settling down for a short winter’s nap;

And what did our wondering eyes did appear,
But several gulch angels bringing us all cheer.

And thus, you shall hear us exclaim as we temporarily duck out of sight,
Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night!
